The place has changed a lot. Very crowded spots and the beach just went down hill.

The 30amp breaker at the site next to me was not working so I had to share mine with him.

, Lake Ouchita is our favorite lake in Arkansas. We have been camping on Lake Ouchita since the early 1960's starting when spots were free and on first come, first serve. Pitch a tent set it up, and your ready for a wonderful camping experience. We raised our two daughters on Lake Ouchita along with 5 to 6 other close families consisting of Aunts, Uncles, and cousins. We have seen many changes though the years and they have been for the better.We were over at Crystal Springs about two weeks ago. Our site was great we had a water view out of our front door as well as one from the back window. The gate attendances were very friendly and the campground is very clean and well maintained We are Seasoned Campers (another name for Senior Citizens or Old Folks) my husband is 82 and I am 78 years. We have been blessed to enjoy many years of camping . We will be back to Crystal Springs as soon, as we can get another reservation. Hopefully we will be able camp for couple more years. Come stay at Crystal Springs Campground, and enjoy beautiful Lake Ouchita.

$14 primitive site was such a great value. Great access to swimming within this loop. Shower house and bathrooms weren’t subject to any type of cleaning routine. Location is great for exploring Hot Springs and Ouachita National Forest. RV sites are tightly spaced but the two primitive sites in this loop had plenty of room. Raised tent beds and full shade made for a great site. Mosquitoes are prevalent. Cell service was adequate. Would definitely stay here again.

Was very disappointed in cleanliness of beach area where kids play and enjoy water. Grassy area had not been mowed (June 2-15). I know you know about geese in area but really need fix to move geese to new home. They wit not leave on their own because of food sources.

Campground was nice and they had a good beach area with a good play equipment for the kids. The bathrooms were ok but needed some repairs/updates; they were cleaned well daily. Camp sites are well designed and maintained.
